Performance Period: 2010-2012
To validate two theoretical performance models developed in the commercial AQWA code and RE Vision’s in-house code, a series of wave tank tests were carried out at the UC Berkeley wave tank and the Scripps Institute of Oceanography wave tank. Tank testing scales to evaluate extreme survival loads were carried out at 1:50 and 1:100 scale and performance validation was carried out at 1:30 scale.
